I got Codie at 3 months old and I had him neutered at 6 months. He does lift his leg and he ONLY marks outside. He has never marked in the house (thank god). :D |
my boyfriend's yorkie isnt neutered and is 9 months old. he doesnt mark... he lifts his leg but not on anything in particular.. just in the middle of the lawn. |
I was just talking to Rebecca (Hootie, Hobbs and Lamars mom) and she said her vet told her marking is about dominance and if you have a submissive dog, he likely won't mark. I think that sounds like a good explanation, what do you guys think? |
I think that probably is a good explantion.Rocco is a very dominate dog. |
I think that makes sense, because if the dog is submissive he has no need to mark his territory. I wouldn't care if he did it outside, as long as it's not in the house. |

my male was neutered at 3 months by the breeder. He started lifting his leg outside at about 7 months but has never marked in the house. He is the last in a long line of male dogs that I have owned,all neutered between 3-6 months, and not one has ever lifted his leg in the house. I think I'd go nuts. I think it helps when they are outside trained, too. That's where they go and that's where they mark. |

It makes sense in theory.. BUT Bailey is VERY dominate.. (He is NEVER on his back.. ever).. yet, he doesn't mark inside...so it can happen even with a dominate dog. |

Chachi is dominate too and doesnt mark in the house |
Forgot to mention Poli is Pad trained, even though they go outside every couple of hrs, because Rosi is stricktly outside, but sometimes Poli holds it and runs to his pad when we come in, dont know what to do about that... hate to scold him in fear that he might go potty elsewhere :rolleyes: |
Siu Pao marks outside but never inside. He never humps and is well behaved. He is 9 months old and still intact. |
Banjo was neutered at 5 months, and started cocking his leg before this. Now he does it all the time, especially going for walks. I swear he squeezes a drop out just to say Hey I've been here. Hes outside trained so has never marked in the house. He just stand there to have his pee, sometimes he lifts his leg. Oh and yeah given the oppotunity he still humps, but not as often.:animal-pa |

This reminds me of the first time Jazz's leg raised. We were outside and he was weeing, when suddenly his leg slowly raised up. Jazz looked back at his leg like " what are you doing?":D He has never marked inside. He's pad-trained now- when we got Mo we had to pad train him because Mo would panic and have diarrhea if crated. So we thought it would be easier just to pad train both. Jazz rarely raises his leg now, because he's had knee and hip surgery, maybe? He and Mo were both neutered at 8 months and both squat and neither mark. |
